  1. Breitbart is an Ashkenazi Jewish name. Andrew Breitbart hired Steve Bannon. Joel Pollak (Jewish) is the editor at large. They employ many Jewish writers, probably more as a percentage than most media outlets. I have yet to read an article at the site the could be considered anti-semitic. Perhaps you could list some examples of anti-semitism at Breitbart? I think you have been listening too much to what people have been saying about them rather than actually looking at what they say. I agree with your parents. Breitbart is actually very pro Jewish.

  2. Why do you think Steve bannon is anti semitic?

    You could argue that he gave a reason for saying why he won't. But can't means he couldn't even if he wanted to.

    Yes, but Edward Snowden didn't donate a million dollars to Barack Obama's Presidential Library. If he won't pay, he can't expect to play.

    That doesn't hold water, because "I can't" was followed by an explanation of why he couldn't. and it happened to be total bullshit.

    Sigh. Go to the section about 2/3rds of the way down on confiscation of civilian firearms. You can read the citations. I can help you find information, but I can't help your ignorance.

    That's why I said "if we can be certain it works". And yes it is a small amount of thrust, but it is also useful thrust. But I'm assuming that can be improved which is why I mentioned "with a little refinement". Not having to carry fuel that gets thrown out the exhaust is pretty helpful.

    That is a fact. PMM inventors always demonstrate their designs by themselves under controlled and obscured conditions. That's not the case with this drive. I don't really see what patents have to do with it.

    No "perpetual motion" machine inventor ever built one, published the design, and let independent researchers build and test their own devices. This is not snake oil.

    I would say it's ready for deployment now. That's what is so amazing about this. It could be optimized, but it doesn't really matter if we understand how it works or not. If we can be certain it does work, it's so simple that it could be put on existing satellites as is with just a little refinement. It already produces useful amounts of thrust.
